Colombo, June 19 (Daily Mirror) - A two-day vehicle tuning dansala was launched today in front of the Department of Motor Traffic (DMT) head office in Narahenpita, to mark Poson Poya day. The event was inaugurated by DMT Commissioner General Nishantha Anurudda.
He said free tuning services for motorcycles and three-wheelers are provided at the dansala. These vehicles, which make up the majority in Sri Lanka, often lack systematic maintenance due to economic constraints, resulting in harmful emissions.
The initiative, organized by the Motor Transport Commissioner's Department of Motor Vehicle Emissions Trust Fund, aims to address this issue. The programme features some of Sri Lanka's most experienced vehicle repairers.
Dasun Janaka Gamage, Director of the Vehicle Emission Trust Fund, emphasized the importance of educating vehicle owners on the proper maintenance practices.
